Adspirer is the MCP server that connects Claude Code (CLI) to your LinkedIn Ads ad accounts, turning campaign management into a chat conversation. Anthropic Claude Code in your terminal — perfect for engineering teams that script ad ops. On the platform side, 28 tools cover sponsored Content, Lead Gen Forms, Conversation & Message Ads. Adspirer reads and writes — pull performance reports, audit launch sponsored content campaigns, launch new campaigns, pause underperformers, and reallocate budget — all from chat. New campaigns are always created paused so you can review before they go live, Adspirer cannot delete existing campaigns by design, and the free tier (15 tool calls / month, no credit card) is enough to run a full audit before you pay. Setup takes about 60 seconds via one CLI command.

What you can do

28 tools across LinkedIn Ads. The eight you'll use most:

Launch Sponsored Content campaigns

Build LinkedIn image and carousel campaigns from a brief — Adspirer pulls your company page, validates creatives, and creates the campaign **paused** so you review before going live.

Target by job title & seniority

`search_linkedin_targeting` covers all 19 LinkedIn facets: job titles, functions, seniority, industries, company size, skills, groups, schools, and more. Target decision-makers, not students.

Research B2B audiences from a competitor

Feed `research_business_for_linkedin_targeting` a competitor name (e.g., HubSpot) and Adspirer suggests the job titles, industries, and seniority levels that match their customer base.

Pull cost-per-lead by campaign

`get_linkedin_campaign_performance` returns spend, clicks, conversions, and CPL by campaign or campaign group — perfect for the "which campaigns are below my $75 CPL target?" prompt.

Refresh creative on live ads

`add_linkedin_creative`, `add_linkedin_carousel_creative`, and `update_linkedin_creative` let you rotate copy and imagery on running campaigns without recreating them.

Pause & resume campaigns

Pause campaigns or ad groups by name from chat, resume them later. Adspirer **cannot delete** existing campaigns — and if a creation fails mid-flow, it auto-archives the orphan to prevent duplicates on retry.

Reallocate budget by CPL

`optimize_linkedin_budget` recommends shifts toward your lowest-CPL campaigns. You confirm before any budget update — Adspirer never raises spend without an explicit "yes".

Track conversions & lead events

`manage_linkedin_conversions` sets up and tracks conversion events — form fills, downloads, demo requests — so optimization runs against real lead signal, not just clicks.

Campaign types you can launch

Every LinkedIn Ads format Adspirer supports — request one in chat and Claude Code builds the campaign paused for review.

Lead Gen Forms

On-platform forms pre-filled with LinkedIn profile data. Higher completion rates than off-platform landing pages.

ABM (Account-Based)

Target specific company names — perfect for account-based marketing programs against a named-account list.

Campaign Groups

Organize multiple campaigns under one group with shared budget and naming. `add_linkedin_campaign_to_group` adds new audiences without recreating the structure.

Sample prompts

Claude Code shines on multi-step agent tasks — drop a brief, walk away, get a report.

LinkedIn performance audit — CPL-focused audit that surfaces underperforming campaigns against your B2B target.

LinkedIn performance audit

Pull my LinkedIn Ads performance for the last 60 days. Show spend, clicks, conversions, and cost per lead by campaign. Highlight any campaigns with cost per lead above $75 and tell me which to pause.

B2B targeting research — Builds a tight B2B targeting spec with audience-size sanity check.

B2B targeting research

I want to target marketing directors at B2B SaaS companies with 100-500 employees in North America. What job titles, industries, seniority, and skills should I use on LinkedIn? Show me audience size estimates so I know if it's big enough to run.

Competitor-based targeting — Reverse-engineers a competitor's ICP into a ready-to-use targeting spec.

Competitor-based targeting

Research LinkedIn targeting based on this competitor: HubSpot. What job titles, industries, and seniority levels should I target to reach buyers who would consider switching from them? Build me a targeting spec.

Launch a sponsored content campaign — End-to-end Sponsored Content campaign with B2B targeting and validation.

Launch a sponsored content campaign

Create a LinkedIn sponsored content campaign: - Product: B2B marketing automation platform - Target: Marketing managers at tech companies with 50-1000 employees - Job titles: Marketing Manager, Demand Gen Manager, Growth Marketing Manager - Industries: Computer Software, Internet, Information Technology - Budget: $75/day - Creative: <image URL> - Objective: Lead generation (demo request form) Validate the creative against LinkedIn specs first, then build the campaign — keep it paused.

Optimize budget across campaign group — CPL-driven budget reallocation within a single campaign group.

Optimize budget across campaign group

Analyze my LinkedIn campaigns inside the "Boost Post Lead Gen" campaign group for the last 30 days. Which campaigns have the lowest cost per lead? Recommend how to reallocate my $5,000/month budget across the group to maximize lead volume.

Diagnose a CPL spike — Anomaly diagnosis on a single campaign with a clear before/after CPL.

Diagnose a CPL spike

My cost per lead on the "Demo Request Q2" LinkedIn campaign jumped from $22 to $48 in the last 14 days. Diagnose what changed — targeting, creative, or bid — and recommend a fix.

Who this is for

Real workflows from people running LinkedIn Ads through Claude Code.

In-house growth marketer running LinkedIn Ads solo

Each Monday, ask Claude Code to pull last week's LinkedIn Ads performance, surface campaigns running below your ROAS threshold, and recommend creative refreshes for fatigued ads.

Outcome: Replaces a 60–90 minute manual review with a 5-minute chat, and surfaces problems before they tank ad-set performance.

Agency account manager handling 5+ LinkedIn Ads accounts

Switch context between client accounts in chat. Run the same audit prompt across each, paste the chat into your weekly client report. Multi-account is built in — no extra seats per account.

Outcome: Cuts cross-account reporting from a half-day per account to ~10 minutes total.

Founder launching their first LinkedIn Ads campaign

Brief Claude Code in plain English with budget, audience, and creative URL. Claude Code validates inputs against LinkedIn Ads's requirements, builds the campaign paused, and walks you through what to review before launching.

Outcome: No need to learn LinkedIn Ads's dashboard UI; campaign goes live correctly the first time.

Frequently asked questions

About running LinkedIn Ads from Claude Code.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

Some terminal comfort helps but you don't need to be a developer — adding the MCP server is one command (claude mcp add --transport http adspirer https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp or the equivalent for your CLI). OAuth happens in your browser. Total time: about 60 seconds.

Can I switch from Claude Code to a different AI client later?

Yes. Your Adspirer account is independent of the AI client — sign up once, then connect the same MCP URL from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, or any supported client. Tool calls are pooled across clients on the same plan; switching costs you nothing.

What's the read vs. write boundary on LinkedIn Ads?

Adspirer is full read and write. It can pull reports, audit performance, and analyze data (read), and it can launch new campaigns, pause underperformers, update budgets, and adjust targeting (write). Two safety guardrails are hard-coded: new campaigns are always created paused so you review before they go live, and Adspirer cannot delete existing campaigns. You keep full control.

Can Adspirer run LinkedIn video ads?

Not yet. Adspirer currently supports image-based Sponsored Content (single image and carousel). Video ad support is on the roadmap for Q2 2026. For now, all campaign creation runs through create_linkedin_image_campaign and add_linkedin_carousel_creative.

Can Adspirer delete or modify my existing LinkedIn campaigns?

Adspirer cannot delete campaigns or ad groups by design. It can pause and resume them on your instruction, and update budgets, bids, or any of the 19 targeting facets via update_linkedin_campaign. New campaigns are always created paused for review.

What are LinkedIn's creative requirements?

Sponsored Content images must be 1200×627px (1.91:1) or 1200×1200px (1:1), JPG or PNG, under 5MB. Intro text up to 600 characters (150 shown before "see more"), headline up to 200 characters. validate_and_prepare_linkedin_assets checks all of this before campaign creation.

What's the minimum budget on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn requires $10/day per campaign, but for meaningful B2B lead volume $50+/day is recommended. Expect $8-15+ CPC and $40-150 CPL depending on industry and seniority. Adspirer suggests starting at $75/day split across 2-3 audience segments to learn fast.

How does ABM (account-based) targeting work?

Use search_linkedin_targeting with company name as a facet to target a named-account list. You can layer in job titles, seniority, and industry to narrow within those companies. LinkedIn requires a minimum 300-member audience — if your list is too narrow, broaden the job-title filter.

How are leads from LinkedIn surfaced?

Use manage_linkedin_conversions to register conversion events (form fills, downloads, demo requests). Performance reports then expose conversions and CPL by campaign. Adspirer doesn't push leads directly into your CRM — route them via Zapier, Make, or LinkedIn's native CRM integrations.
